Within 5 to 10 minutes of operation, the griddle surface should reach a temperature of -30°F, ready to produce instant results. A thin film of olive oil applied to the surface before freezing will act as a release agent.

Users are said to be able to use the unit to develop solid or semi-frozen creations with stable, crunchy surfaces and cool, creamy centres.

Examples of frozen combinations include a salmon mousse appetiser, a rhubarb jasmine meringue, and a caramel and rosemary vanilla lollipop with a liquid centre.

The worktop should provide an ample, easy-to-clean work surface, and the unit is supplied with detachable power leads, and both UK and European plugs.
